Genoa-Monza is a match valid for the 22nd day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 20:45: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
Against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Genoa cashed in their second defeat of the Vieira management, a match in which the capitolini’s greater quality and their desire to climb the standings ended up making the difference (3-1). It was the first knockout after three consecutive useful results (two wins and a draw) for the Rossoblù, who still have to reckon with an increasingly short standings on the right side, with 7 teams, from 12th to 18th place, packed into just four points.
Genoa has undoubtedly grown, in several respects, following the French coach’s arrival and has acquired more solidity but it is still too early to relax and lift the foot off the accelerator. The challenge with the last-place Monza represents an opportunity to restart immediately after the false step in the Capital and especially to move away from the red zone again. Critical situation instead for the Brianzoli, who a week ago suffered their sixth defeat in the last seven days. In Bologna, Salvatore Bocchetti’s team failed to replicate the performance offered seven days earlier with Fiorentina and the 3-1 final is a result that even goes tight for the Emiliani. Monza thus remains last in the standings, on 13 points: their hopes of keeping the category are fading round after round.
Genoa-Monza: the latest news on formations
In addition to experienced director Badelj Vieira will also have to do without Bani, who was injured against Roma and will be rested at least until the next match. On the other hand, the Rossoblù coach will find Ekuban and Norton-Cuffy again, who will go to “lengthen” the Genoan bench. In front, the Zanoli-Pinamonti-Miretti trident is confirmed, with Balotelli – controversial during the week on social media – again out of the starters.
On the other side, Bocchetti is grappling with a long list of absentees. Genoa will be without Cragno, Pessina, Birindelli, Pablo Marì (according to radiomercato close to Fiorentina), Mota and Caldirola. The only one who might recover is transalpine midfielder Bondo. Up front, one between Caprari and Petagna will flank Maldini.

The Prediction
Marassi may not be a fort like it was last year – Genoa have only had one win in front of their fans so far – but since Vieira has been on the bench, the Rossoblù have only lost to top-ranked Napoli at home. And if we consider that away Monza has barely won a game we can easily imagine a success of the Ligurians in a match in which they should both score (it is no coincidence that the last seven matches involving the Brianzoli have all ended with at least three goals in total).
Genoa-Monza’s probable lineups
GENOA (4-3-3): Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Thorsby, Masini, Frendrup; Zanoli, Pinamonti, Miretti.
MONZA (4-4-2): Turati; Pereira, D’Ambrosio, Izzo, Carboni; Ciurria, Bianco, Akpa Akpro, Kyriakopoulos; Maldini, Caprari.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
